SecondMoonshot Custom Picture Framing

Beautiful. Remember the engraved logo we did a while back, we did one in reverse and that was used to do the debossing.

Does this really look like me? Family apparently got a good laugh with it.

Sometimes I get a special request to help build something totally unrelated to framing. Last week it was a pine straw bailer. This was for family and I generally don’t take on projects like this as part of the SecondMoonshot efforts. But it turned out pretty cool…and it actually worked.

The pilot run came out excellent. Deborah is so great to work with!

Elevate your artwork with custom greeting card printing from SecondMoonshot. Using Red River Paper stocks, archival inks, matching envelopes, and clear protective sleeves, we craft retail-ready cards with optional back branding and low-volume flexibility.

Wont use it lighted, it is sitting on insulation and probably not safe and also need to conserve outlets.

Fun little side project.

Replaced fluorescent tube with Type A+B led and repaired some of the thumbscrews. I’ll hang it up on one of the steel beams.

I haven't been doing many posts lately and business has been better than usual and being a one-man-show, keeping me busy. Here are a few notables I have done lately.

The floral mat was actually a piece of wallpaper the customer wanted me to use as the mat, so we mounted it onto a mat board. Simple and it made a great touch to the decor where it will reside.

The sheet music one was fun, we did printing on archival paper and then mounted some of the wedding bouquet and boutonnière pedals at the bottom for a 30th anniversary.

And a follow-up on an earlier post with the 152-card Pokémon set, owner sent me a picture of the final hanging since I forgot to get a picture of it.

And a few other fun ones.

We will be closed on Friday July 17th. Taking a ride over to Gibsonville, NC to pickup some lumber at The Hardwood Store. Having lunch at Pete's Grill of course!

Inspired by Short’s Hotdogs and a painting I saw made of the landmark hotdog joint. My brother-in-law (Tom Johnson) is a budding pastel artist and took on a piece of a photo of the shopfront…love it!

Last Mile Picture Framing

We have a steady flow of customers that have framing projects that started out as DIY or minor projects, often to be set aside due to lost steam, unexpected complexity, or just changes in priorities.

Sometimes we will get in a frame bought over internet but the picture just wont fit or acrylic / glass needs cutting, or need to add a mat or two. Sometimes they want me to make a modification of other design elements or resize the frame. We are happy to help take these side projects and get them ready to hang.

We call these “Last Mile” projects as a carryover from similar concept used by UPS and other shipping carriers when they use USPS to do the last mile of delivery.

Here are a couple that we have done over the years…
